I took a little trip to a sea cliffed beach yesterday which inspired this poem. I hope that you like it.-Bob Sea Cliffed Beach Multi-colored sand disguises Umbrellas of different sizes Hide from view the chilled surprises Awaiting every child On sea cliffed beach where cars are parking Labradors and collies barking For within there’s something sparking And they’re growing wild To run upon the beach and frolic With both kids and workaholics In the waves that splash chaotic And somewhat makes complete My thoughts about how spry and willing Oceans are to bring such thrilling To the ones who’ve begged for chilling From this summer’s heat Though rest I’ve wished for and not getting Still I’m not mad nor am sweating For I’m dreaming and forgetting Doldrums out of reach Where the kayak now is surging Where the land and sea’s converging Where awakened by life’s urgings To contemplate them each Was found on sea cliffed beach.

I like it a lot. Sounds like a great place to be. My California son does kayaking when he can get away. God bless Rae |
